last year and lately i can be sitting at a stop light or such and my car will start to die
i can push the gas an it take a sec to come back
and just today im idling and put it in gear/put foot on gas
and the idle drops Low and and car doesnt move
in the parking lot i had to rev it up and put it in gear several times before it would move

then i get where i want to go (highway) and when i go to turn car back on
It wont start and i hear bubbles coming into the tank

i had to floor it after turning key Several Several times

I even put a small check valve on the return line last year

timing at 0* (71' F.I. Auto)
dwell at 47*
valves were good last time i checked (bout a week ago)

dont get it
seems like im overheating!
and with the bubbles... how am i getting air in there??

Sounds like a possible vacum leak or a faulty MPS running you lean..
